Defoe for me. Has been my number one choice for the last 3 years and nothing has changed my mind. Head and shoulders above Owen. Would get 20+ goals easily in our team. Just think our 4 striking options being Defoe, Gabby, Carew and Heskey....top four here we come.

Agree in MON we trust! Biggest mistake made was not going for him at such a knock down price last January. He might even have got us the 4th place (at least 5th) last season, but MON must have his reasons I guess.

Goals, goals and more goals Gordonsleftboot. He is a 1 in 2 striker, give him the chance (even in a struggling Newcastle side) and he'll take them. Also could teach Gabby a great deal which would almost make it worth it just for that because Gabby is already learning fast and improving season on season, but to learn more from the side of a master... superb!

Get involved and suggest an article. This website is your website and we are looking for people to contribute. So if you attend a game, full or reserves and have an opinion, why not write a match report, or have your say on any issue you wish Villa related. Perhaps you are a budding journalist or even just someone who is very opinionated? Well why not join our team? If this interests you please contact Vital Villa.

I'm not convinced, and am glad that its not my job to make a decision as to whether we should be seriously looking at him. His injury record in recent seasons has to be a concern, plus he looks to me as if he's lost a yard or two of pace, once his biggest asset.

Seems he's set to have clear the air talks with Kinnear, not being happy at being left out of the side for the past couple of weeks,when he claims, he has been 100% fit. I expect to see him move on, although I doubt that Villa Park would be his destination of choice, even if MON were to show a definite interest.

The only two strikers that would help and make villa a better team are Ashton (after his injury problems) and Santa Cruz. We get one of them and we will be a top 4 threat for a long time. Defoe is overated and benjani is average. Neither of them would improve our squad. No Owen!
